Indianapolis Indians

Jeff Locke woke up Thursday morning and looked down from his hotel window, 23 stories high on the banks of the Allegheny River, at PNC Park, the only major league stadium he had called home until last week.

This weekend is a big one — an emotional one — for the left-hander, and not only because he’s pitching Sunday. This marks his first time back in Pittsburgh since the Pirates designated him for assignment last winter, ending his eight years as a member of the organization and opening the door for him to sign with the Miami Marlins as a free agent.

When Locke steps onto the mound for the series finale, he’ll face some of his best friends in the game.
